Delete goes into autopilot

[MichaelJA]

Everything is current, iPad 12.9” Designer, iOS, etc. No external keyboard. When adding text and attempting to delete a letter or word it's as though I'm holding the delete backspace down, I'm not. The words before the deleted word or letter start deleting till it ends. This has happened with Photo too. This just started happening! It's driving me crazy. I've since been making sure I've copy-pasted the words before doing any kind of editing now too. I hope this is clear in your understanding of what is happening.

Hi Michael, that issue sounds like a real pain! I’m not currently able to replicate the issue. Keyboard settings in the Accessibility has sticky key options but my understanding is these only effect hardware keyboards. So that shouldn’t cause a problem.
Maybe try a hard reset on the iPad . Surprisingly it often resolves issues (IOS is getting as bad as windows in that respect😁. Mods may be along soon with better suggestions.

DM1, Thank you for responding. I tried the hard reset. Then I deleted both Designer & Photo. Didn't help. As well, lost all of my prior work! Next time I need to make sure I've saved the work in the cloud, thought I had. Damn it! Anyway, the problem still happens.

I think I found the culprit! Grammarly! This seems to be causing me more issues than it’s worth having. I use an app called Dashlane for my slew of passwords and it had been working just fine till an update, possibly an iOS update. Where when adding a new password the window would open but then it wouldn’t allow any text to be added. So this prompted a hard quit on the app.
